“Windows as a service” is to get a new version at six-monthly intervals. The newer ones usually are set to continue getting updates for at least 18 to 30 months. But the same thing does not apply to the “long-term servicing channel” which is LTSC.

So it is understood and assured that Windows 10 will not be going at least for a good 2–3 years. If it doesn’t get replaced by the new Windows 11 operating system. Though the Azure Internet of Things (IoT) and the LTSC would be excluded from this.

So rest assured, users can think of the year 2025 as the year when windows 10 might get dumped.
